Popular questions
  1. What is tannin in wine?

    Tannins are natural polyphenols from grape skins, seeds, stems, and oak that give wine its mouth-drying astringency and structure, helping stabilize color and support aging.

  2. What is a tannin?

    A tannin is a plant-derived polyphenolic compound (E181) that binds proteins and other molecules, causing astringency and sometimes used in foods for color and stabilization.

  3. What is tannin bleed?

    Tannin bleed is yellow-brown staining that occurs when water‑soluble tannins migrate from wood through paint or coatings; it’s minimized with stain‑blocking primers and proper sealing.

  4. What is tannin in tea?

    In tea, “tannins” are polyphenols (such as catechins and theaflavins) that cause bitterness and a puckering, astringent feel, which intensifies with longer steeping.

  5. What is a tannin in wine?

    In wine, tannins are grape- and oak-derived polyphenols that contribute bitterness and a drying mouthfeel while adding structure and age‑worthiness.

  1. Is crospovidone safe for dogs?

    Generally yes—crospovidone is an inert, non‑absorbed excipient used in veterinary medicines and small amounts are considered low risk; for dosing or if a large amount was ingested, consult a veterinarian.

  2. Is crospovidone gluten free?

    Yes. It’s a synthetic polymer and not derived from wheat or other gluten-containing grains, so it’s considered gluten‑free.

  3. Is crospovidone safe?

    Yes—E1202 (PVPP/crospovidone) is authorized for use in foods and beverages, and evaluations by bodies like EFSA/JECFA found no safety concern at permitted levels; it is insoluble and not absorbed.

  4. Is crospovidone vegan?

    Yes. It’s a synthetic, petroleum‑derived polymer with no animal ingredients and is often used as a vegan-friendly fining agent in beer and wine.

  5. Is crospovidone formaldehyde?

    No. Crospovidone is a cross‑linked polymer of N‑vinylpyrrolidone, not formaldehyde, and food/pharma grades have tight limits on residual monomers and impurities.
